The Bitter Sweetness

Title: The Bitter Sweetness

Soaring high on a sugary breeze,
Our taste buds dance with careless ease,
Indulging in treats, our desires fed,
Little knowing the price ahead.

Seduced by the allure of excess,
Temptations win, we acquiesce,
Processed foods, our bodies betray,
Type 2 diabetes gains its way.

A feast of sugars, a feast of woe,
Within our veins, the havoc grows,
Insulin struggles to keep control,
As our health pays the heavy toll.

The sweet delights we once adored,
Now turn bitter, their spell ignored,
A lesson learned, a warning bell,
To rein in our cravings, time will tell.

With knowledge gained, we hold the key,
To change our fate, to set us free,
For balance and moderation we seek,
To conquer this silent disease.
